Proastiakos Thessaloniki is the Proastiakos rail service commuting to Thessaloniki, Greece.

Unlike the Proastiakos lines in Athens, the two lines served are rather medium-distance regional rail connections on two major axes to Edessa, Central Macedonia, and Larissa, Thessaly. The actual Metropolitan Area of Thessaloniki is served by the Metro Thessaloniki.

Lines

Proastiakos Thessaloniki consists of two lines:

  • Line 1 runs Larissa to Thessaloniki with some trains starting at Palaiofarsalos.
  • Line 2 runs from Thessaloniki to Edessa with some trains continuing to Florina.

    • Trains run from approximately 6:00am to 22:00pm daily on a fairly irregular basis, roughly once an hour. Both lines however somewhat complement each other between Thessaloniki and Platy.
